In the last 10 years, the housing market in San Diego, California has seen a huge growth in the price of homes. In San Diego County, an average three-bedroom home was priced around $250,000-$450,000. This increase in home prices also led to the increase in commercial development and surrounding areas with entrepreneurs taking advantage of new homeowners. Disposable income was available for people to purchase homes and to improve their existing homes.

Now, in current political times, the economy is not faring as well, in San Diego. Many people's homes are not worth the same price they paid several years ago, and many are facing foreclosure sales. Because of this the commercial economy surrounding most neighborhoods is also being her because of the lack of disposable income now available.

Current homeowners who are in the market to sell their homes are looking for easy ways to improve the value of their existing residents. A few of the easiest ways to improve the value of your current home is, new carpet and a fresh coat of paint. When people are look for a home they typically judge your bathroom and your kitchen area with more scrutiny than other rooms. Remodeling the kitchen or the bathroom is the best place to spend your remodeling dollars to get the return on investment required, when selling your home.

An easy way to upgrade your bathroom is to paint your current bathroom vanity cabinets or place them. Painting your cabinets is relatively straightforward, all you have to do is send them prime them and then paint your desired color. Many people are choosing to replace them entirely. In the last five years has been a huge influx of bathroom vanities to choose from. Purchasing a standalone bathroom vanity is relatively inexpensive when compared to putting in new bathroom cabinets. Your savings on a new bathroom vanity versus new bathroom cabinets is about 50%.

Now days the Internet, makes shopping almost too easy, when looking for that new bathroom vanity. There are many new styles of bathroom vanities such as vessel sinks, modern wall hanging vanities, antique vanities, and double vanities. You can replace an average single vanity for about $1000-$2000. A double sink bathroom vanity costs between $2000-$5000. Where you saved the most costs is during the installation process. An average handyman or homeowner can install their own vanities and an afternoon, and you don't have to be an expert to do so.

All that is required to install them is to remove your current bathroom cabinets and repaint the walls. Then slide in your new bathroom vanity and reattach all plumbing hoses and accessories. No cutting and no hassle. If you have any questions about your install can also contact the company you purchased the cabinet from.

During your bathroom renovation, you may also want to replace the bathroom light fixtures and your mirror and possibly your medicine cabinet. With new lights that are eco friendly, you can also cut down on your electricity costs, helping them pay for themselves over the next few years. By taking all of the fixtures in your bathroom into account during your remodeling project, you can transform almost any bathroom for a few thousand dollars over the weekend.

More information on bathroom vanities can be found on various blogs on the internet. Wyatt has been blogging about vanities for and other DIY project for many years.
